In loving memory of Valerie Pragnell; inspirational, respected and well known artist, creative and talented cook, caring and devoted mother of Anna and Sophie and adoring grandmother of Kai and Niamh. She was a friend to so many, life-giving and dynamic. The world is much diminished by her loss and we will all miss her so very much.

Taking solace and inspiration from nature and the landscape, she would often be found on the shore or in the woods, looking for material to use in her art, or simply enjoying the winds, woods and weather.

We know she is at peace now and are listening for her in the wind, woods and waves. She will always be with us.

There have been donations of £1,049 towards Valerie Pragnell's memorial grove. That's a grove of 207 trees.

With many thanks to... Phillip Reeves, Toni Bonner, Olivia Rodger, Jean & Martin Pragnell, Rachel Farey, Nicholas & Alison Muntz, Chris, Ruth, Eleanor & Ian, Nicole Pragnell, Mr J B Towl, Margaret Budgen, Barbara and Bruce, Mary Carroll, Wilma Paterson, Sophie Pragnall, Ewan Clow, David Penney, Karen Brown, Phillip Williams, Jim Pattison, John Taylor and Gallowgate Studios, F M Bell, Nigel Bridges, Emma Olver, Olive Dean, The Ostertag Family, and Kai-Pie and Boo.
